* Package name    : libcgi-session-serialize-yaml-perl
   Version         : 4.21
   Upstream Author : Sherzod Ruzmetov <sherzodr at cpan.org>
* URL             : http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Session-Serialize-yaml/
* License         : same as Perl (GPL + Artistic)
   Programming Lang: Perl
   Description     : Add YAML and YAML::Syck support to CGI::Session's serializers

  This library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. It uses
  YAML, or the faster C implementation, YAML::Syck
  if it is available. YAML serializers exist not just for Perl but also other
  dynamic languages, such as PHP, Python, and Ruby, so storing session data
  in this format makes it easy to share session data across different languages.
  .
  YAML is made to be friendly for humans to parse as well as other computer
  languages. It creates a format that is easier to read than the default
  serializer.


Additionnal note:
   I package this perl module (within the Debian Perl Group) as this is yet another
koha dependency. I package it before seeing the RFP (and the previous work of the
RFP submitter Daniel Kahn Gillmor based on dh-make-perl).

For release managers:
   As noticed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor in #484556, this perl module where included
in libcgi-session-perl in stable (etch) but it is not anymore in testing (lenny).
You might want to consider a freeze exception for this little module if you want
to avoid a regression in available perl modules. But I will not push futher in
this direction as, IMHO, no other software currently in lenny requires this perl
module (koha requires it, but the koha packaging has not been ready for lenny)

   Best regards,
     Vincent
